ABSTRACT:
An inserter machine has means for feeding an envelope withdrawn from a storage tray to a flap device 44 capable of opening the envelope flap and forwarding the envelope along a deck 42 with its base edge leading and its open flap trailing. Encoder means 60, 108 are connected for rotation in synchronization with one or more rolls forming part of the forwarding means. The machine also has a means 80 for disconnecting drive to the envelope to stop the envelope at a stuffing station, and a wetter arrangement 116, 118 whereby the envelope flap can be wetted prior to sealing. An envelope stop 128 is provided in a flap closure mechanism 126, 120, 142; the stop being adjustable in position without operator intervention in response to information provided by the encoder means 66, 108 or by data fed in by a user via a keyboard on the machine.
